Summary

Security metrics often fail because they measure activity rather than actual risk, often failing to connect with business impact, making them difficult to explain to boards and executives. How do you build efffective metrics that are actionable, contextual, and valuable? Ben Wilcox, CTO & CISO at ProArch, joins Business Security Weekly to help us speak the language of the board. Ben will cover how to develop measurable, strategic, and AI-ready security metrics. In the leadership and communications segment, Only 30 minutes per quarter on cyber risk: Why CISO-board conversations are falling short, When the Team Gets the Recognition, Your Leadership Is Working, The communication lesson that changed my career, and more!
